By baptism into His death we were buried together with Him; so that j ust as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live a new life. For if we have been united with Him by likeness to His death, so shall we be united with Him by likeness to His resurrection.

(A white pall in rememhranc:e ofthe baptismal garment is placed on the casket).

Priest : On the day of her baptism, Inez put on Christ. In the day of Christ's coming may she be clothed with glory.

In death 's dark vale I fear no ill With Thee dear Lord beside me, Thy rod and staff me comfort still, The cross before to guide me.

Thou spreadst a table in my sight, Thy unction grace bestoweth, And 0 what transport of delight, From Thy pure chalice floweth.

And so through all the length of days, Thy goo dness faileth never, Good Shepherd may 1 sing Thy praise, W ithin Thy house forever.

It is well. it is well with my soul.

Tho' Satan should buffet tho' trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they.

Peace perfect peace, our future all unknown?

Jesus we know and He is on the throne.

Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.

It is enough, earth's struggles soon shall cease, And Jesus calls us to heaven's perfect,p~ace.

Refrain: This is my story, thi.~ is my song, Praising my Saviour all the day long, This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Saviour all the long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight, Angels descending, bring from above, Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission all is at rest, I in my Saviour am happy and blest, Watching and waiting, looking above, Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

HYMN .................................... .......................... "Just a Closer Walk" I am weak but Thou art strong, Jesus keep me from all wrong, I am satisfied as long as I walk, Let me walk close to Thee.

Refrain: Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it Jesus, is my plea, Dally walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

Through this world of toil and snares, If I falter, Lord who cares?

Who with me my burden shares, None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

When my feeble life is o'er, Time for me will be no more, Guide me saJely, gently o'er, To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

CHORSUES No Grave Can Hold My Body Down

No grave can hold my body down, No grave can hold my body down, When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound,

And the dead in Christ shall rise, No grave can hold my body down.

Meet Me By the River Meet me by the river, someday, Meet me by the river, not far away, When The Lord shall call me home, Happy, happy home beyond the sky, Meet me by the river, someday.
